Bath time and nap time

My little boy is getting to big for his nuby baby bath and too active. He kicks his legs and moves too much for me to feel like he is safe in it any longer. I have a bath seat for when he can sit independently. But I’m stuck on how to bath him until then…
Also he normally naps in a Moses basket in the front room which he also is getting too big for. I don’t really want to leave him alone in my room/ move the next to me every day and night.

Would love some suggestions from some fellow mums 🥰

I have the nuby baby bath and plan to move onto the angelcare bath seat once my little one is bigger.

My baby naps in the pram in the day x

We've used an angelcare seat in the big bath from birth. My little girl grew out the mosses basket about 2 weeks ago so have been doing more contact naps or utilising the pushchair or carrier for naps but have been doing the occasional next to me nap where I'll potter around upstairs.

Bit random, but I have a fluffy play mat/baby gym and my LO sometimes naps on that. Usually only the first nap of the day (the rest are contact naps as he hated the bassinet).
I’m very soon going to have the same bath problem 🫣

We do pram or contact naps here, pram sort of acts like a moses basket would.

On the bath, I just hold baby - I have my arm under her head and hold round the shoulder/arm. That works for us for a quick dunk

my baby grew out of the moses basket at like 3 weeks old she just naps in her swing, on us or in her cot, she out grew her next to me at 7 weeks old as well

Son touching his w***y

My little one has started touching his downstairs every-time I change his nappy 🙈 he pulls it. Anyone else experiencing this?

Sleep training?

I am waiting for my daughter to be 6 months to start a sleep training method. Currently, she only does naps on me and nights are divided into two where my husband keeps her until 10:30-11:30 (she sleeps on him) and then we co-sleep. I am not sleeping obviously since she eats often or wakes up because she wants comfort🙃.

Any advice? What did you do? What do you recommend?

She’s extremely attached to both of us and we tried the cry out method when she hit the 4month regression and it was HORRIBLE. I cried with her, she was way too young. She’s 5 months now and we’re going on a trip but as soon as we’re back, for my sanity we need to do something about it🥲.

Most absorbent nappies for overnight

Can anyone recommend a really good absorbent nappy? My little one is 7m old and is a belly sleeper, I’m having to change his pyjamas and bedding every morning as he is totally saturated!

I initially used Asda little angels nappies but switched to pampers baby dry recently to see if they were any better, he is still leaking with those too. I have also tried adding a nappy liner into the front over night for extra protection but he is still wetting through.

Just for reference he is a big boy and in size 6/7 nappies he weighs over 30lb 🐷 I struggle to get nappies to fit around his belly, he has a bigger than average belly as well.

All of the ‘night time nappies’ in the shops are for older babies/ toddlers and are pull ups, but as I said my boy is big.. should I try these??

TIA from my laundry basket lmao xox

Edit: have weighed him and he is 26lb 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Postpartum

What effects did you guys experience with your postpartum
trying to see if what I’m feeling is normal

Breastfeeding

Weird question but I don’t know if anyone else has this happening to them, but I noticed when I get ready to breast-feed my son I’ll squeeze my nipples and there’s milk coming out of the Ariola that’s around it has anyone else had that happen?

Formula!

Hola mamis! I’m gonna start giving my baby formula so he can get more weight. I don’t really know too much about it, do any of you know the difference between the formulas? Which one is better? Which one has less artificial and not healthy ingredients?

My son is 11 weeks.
Thank you 🙏🏽
